20 YEARS OF CONTRIBUTIONS FROM JFM SUPPORTERS IN THE USA
On January 20, 2004, the Jewish Foundation
of Manitoba USA, Inc. was formally
incorporated in Illinois. The organization had
a singular purpose—to support the charitable
causes championed by its parent foundation.
By creating JFM USA, the Foundation took
steps to enable tax-deductible contributions
from U.S. residents.
Many supporters of the Foundation and our
Jewish Community do not live in Winnipeg.
Whether they are ex-pats who maintain a
connection to their childhood homes, they've
passed through here for a portion of their
lives, or have friends who have been a part of
our community, JFM supporters can be found
almost anywhere.
To contribute, the minimum gift is
$1,000. These gifts must be made in USD.
Contributions to JFM USA (deductible for
U.S. income tax purposes) are distributed
to JFM and allocated to the donor's desired
endowment fund(s).
The strength of the Foundation comes from
our donors and volunteers. These two groups
are necessary to support our community's
needs. JFM USA is a separate 501(C)(3)
supporting organization to JFM. We know that
our donors are spread out, and through this,
our supporters south of the border have a
tax-deductible option to support what means
most to them.
“JFM USA is extremely convenient for our donors
who desire a US charitable tax deduction,"
explains Ian Barnes, CFO.
